The Best Candles for Your Home: Scents, Style & How to Choose the Right One

If you’re anything like us, candles aren’t just home décor—they’re part of the vibe. Whether you're setting the tone for a dinner party, winding down after a long day, or creating a cozy moment just for you, the best candles for your home do more than smell good—they transform a space.

But with so many options, how do you choose the right one?

Let’s break it down.


Why Candles Matter at Home

Candles tap into something primal—light, warmth, memory. The right scent can uplift, calm, or cozy up a room instantly. That’s why choosing the right candle for each space matters.


The Best Candle for Every Room

Living Room: Think of this as your signature scent zone. Go with warm, welcoming blends like amber, vanilla, or leather.
Try: Justin – a full-bodied leather-forward scent that says “luxury meets grit.”

Kitchen: You’ll want something clean and fresh to balance cooking aromas. Citrus and herbs are perfect.
Try: Desert Bloom – bright citrus with subtle spice and florals.

Bedroom: This is your sanctuary. Look for relaxing notes like lavender, musk, or moonflower.
Try: Indigo Moon – English lavender, night-blooming florals, and soft white musk.

Bathroom: Light and crisp is the goal here. Think spa vibes—eucalyptus, lemongrass, or sugarcane.
Try: Spa Day/Austin – a refresh of black currant, patchouli, and lemongrass.

Office or Studio: Energize your mind with greens, mints, and woods.
Try: Scribe – cerebral, clean, and ideal for creative flow.


What Makes a Candle “The Best”?

Look for these signs of quality:

  • Clean wax (like our creamy soy blend)

  • Cotton or wood wicks for better burns

  • Phthalate- & paraben-free fragrance oils

  • Proper burn time and scent throw

Pro Tip: Trim your wick to ¼” before each burn and let the wax melt all the way across to prevent tunneling.
